Nick Tantalo

The light and strength that surrounded our family has dimmed with the passing of Nick Tantalo, age 69, on March 11, 2025.

He was born in Toronto, the youngest of six children and lived a life marked with hard work, integrity, wit, and humor. Nick spent his career as a Construction Superintendent and his legacy can be found all over the Toronto landscape. He adored his family and his friends (aka "the boys") who have been with him through good times and bad.

His bereaved wife Sandy Tantalo stole his heart 43 years ago and she will hold him in hers for evermore. He loved and was so proud of his girls Alicia (Giuliano) and Alaina Tantalo. He adored his granddaughter Soleil Quattrociocchi who was his sunshine and his little pal. He leaves behind, sister-in-law Santina (Valerio) Tantalo and Joanne Ricchio, brothers-in-law Domenic (Connie) Lippa and Domenic (Josie) Cuda and mother-in-law Maria Cuda.

He will be missed by his many nieces and nephews, particularly Fred (Angela) Tantalo who shared so many of the same passions like making wine, cooking and fondness for classic cars. He was loving Godfather to Nicole Lippa, Stefanie Savoia and GianAngelo Cuda.

His incomparable friendship with " the boys" Frank (Pina), Pat (Marianna) and Jerry (Antonietta) spanned over 60 years and are now left devastated with his passing as are other friends, too numerous to mention. Awaiting him in Heaven are his parents Alfredo and Nicolina Tantalo, brother Valerio Tantalo, sisters Connie Lippa, Franca Tantalo, lole Bianchi and Maria Coccia, and father-in-law Giovanni Cuda.
